It' time to world build. Today, we'll be making a closed terrarium, which can potentially last decades if in perfect balance. Sealed terrariums will never be as reliably successful as traditional, open terrariums, but we can give it our best shot. In between the happenings with my reptiles, I've been taking on tons of other projects, including building a group of closed setups like this that will hopefully live longer than me. Enjoy the inheritance future kids! This sealed oxygen may one day be in high demand.
These conditions pose some interesting challenges, namely the high humidity and smaller size. Because of that, we will need to very selective about what plants we include. A more detailed list is below. Besides that, mold is also a risk. To prevent it, all organics will be baked, and we will be watering sparingly. Including mold eating microfauna like springtails will also help. As I build more projects, we will be working towards more rare plant choices and more complex ecosystems. There is a never a guarantee of success, but it's what makes these projects so fun.
see you soon. PEACE
